124 HIGHLAND LIGH1' INFANTRY CHRONHlLE. having been the last ordered for war service, and, previous to being placed under orders, having given a large number of volunteers to raise the other Highland Regiments to the war complement. Therefore, when also ordered to be raised to the war strength for service in the field, volunteers from any Regiment at home were obliged to be received, as, of course, recruits could not be drilled in time to meet the emergency. We may add that when their Colonel, the late Lieutenant-General Sir John Macdonald, was Adjutant-General (resigned in 1850), he allowed none but Scotsmen to be in the Regiment, both as regards officers and men. 78TH (ROSS-SHIRE BUFFS) HIGHLANDERS. This Regiment was in India during the Russian war, having proceeded there in 1844, and returned home in 1859. After being raised to the full strength for service in India, the numbers were, on the Scot. Eng. Irish.

When this became known in Scotland great difficulty was experienced in obtaining men, and they were forced to recruit in England, where the calamity was unknown amongst the lower classes. 74TH HIGHLANDERS (TREWS). They went to the Cape of Good Hope in 1851, and were engaged in the Kaffir war. Afterwards they proceeded to India, where the Regiment was during the Russian war, and where they still remain. On proceeding to the Cape, the numbers were :- ScQt. Eng. Irish.

The composition of the following Regiments, taken together for 1854, 1856, and 1857, stands thus, the 74th and 78th, in India, being excluded : 1854. Scots. Eng. Irish. Foreign. Scots Greys, 42nd,) 71st, 72nd, 79th,. 5504 92nd, and 93rd ( 211 125 1 Highlanders, , 1856. The same Regi_} ments in the Crimea, at the close 6288 463 379 2 of the Russian war, 1857.

In the 42nd there were only 10 English and 6 Irish; 79th Regiment, 8 English and 3 Irish; 92nd Regiment, 3 English and 7 Irish; and in the 93rd, only one Englishman; etc., etc.
